As mentioned in PC Gamer's review of RA3 in their Holiday 2008 issue, this game doesn't take itself the least bit seriously.

In one of the pic captions: "Nothing encapsulates the feel of RA3 like a giant, laser-sword-wielding, triple-samurai robot of doom."
And the last sentence: "....any game in which a giant laser cannon pops out of Teddy Roosevelt's head on Mt. Rushmore is a winner in my book" - Dan Stapleton

The RA lines has been the butt of Jokes for the C&C series since part Deux. Anything too outrageous for C&C goes towards making RA a more enjoyable outing. I would love to see China debuting in RA4, now.

BTW, EA has annouced 3 different expansion pack for RA3. Each for the Americans, Russians and Japanese. Typical EA. Betcha the Japanese Expansion will be the bestselling outta the entire lot.

Seriously though I dunno what Sheep was whining about, I've been playing since beta and this game is so tightly balanced it's insane.

This game is not balanced in any way at high levels of play.
For one thing, Empire sucks. Bad. Reallllly bad. Picking Empire is a surefire way to lose against good players. Allies fare better, but still usually get rolled by Soviets.

True to life. The Russians would have gotten their way with the world, if they had not kept in check by the Americans. Japan is only there for the Cool factor.
